Daybreak Health partners with school districts to expand access to mental health care for students. The company matches every student to a clinician based on language, culture, identity, and clinical need, typically starting care within one to two weeks at no cost to families. Daybreak serves districts representing over one million students and is backed by Union Square Ventures, Lux Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Maven Ventures, and Y Combinator.
In this role, you will own the full recruiting cycle for licensed therapists, counselors, and social workers who deliver direct care. This is a high-volume, relationship-driven position. Mental health clinicians are in high demand, requiring you to move fast, communicate clearly, and keep candidates engaged from first contact through offer. You will work closely with clinical leadership to understand hiring needs and ensure every open seat is filled with someone who is a strong clinical and cultural fit.
Key responsibilities include:
- Actively source and engage licensed clinicians through job boards, outreach, and referrals
- Build and maintain a healthy pipeline of qualified candidates across multiple states
- Conduct video screens to assess licensure, experience, and fit for the patient population
- Coordinate and support the interview process with clinical leadership
- Partner with credentialing and onboarding teams to support new hire success
- Maintain accurate candidate records and pipeline stages in the ATS
- Write and maintain clear, compelling job postings
- Track and report on recruiting metrics such as time-to-fill and pipeline health
You thrive when you move fast (clinical talent gets snapped up quickly), stay organized while juggling multiple open roles and candidates, communicate clearly with both candidates and hiring managers, approach the work with empathy (many candidates are clinicians themselves), remain resilient through high-volume recruiting, pay close attention to detail around licensure and credentialing, and maintain genuine curiosity about behavioral health and mission-driven work.
QUALIFICATIONS
Must-haves:
- 3+ years of recruiting experience, ideally in healthcare, behavioral health, or another licensed or credentialed field
- Experience managing a full-cycle recruiting process from sourcing to offer
- Comfort working with high candidate volume across multiple open roles
- Experience using an ATS to track candidates and pipeline stages
Nice-to-haves:
- Familiarity with clinical licensure requirements (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, etc.) across multiple states
- Experience recruiting at a startup or fast-growth company
- Background or interest in mental health, especially youth mental health
